Oh-oh - Pasha's said that Chelsee's showdance will be funky and disco-y
I don't think that is a bad thing per-say as Karen said and I agree with her you really do need a song with punch to get people bobbing along.

Yup, if it is rubbish then I will INDEED vote for Harry to win! I don't care if it's funky. They can funk their way to the runners-up position for all I care!

Argh, I HATE disco-y dance!

Will be Harry's for AS or Showdance. To me it suits a Viennese Waltz (which you can have as ASmooth base)
If it's supposed to be a rock and roll showdance I can't see how this song can fit into that genre!

It's sung by a rock n roll singer

I want props. I want odd music choices. I want inappropriate leotards and badly executed gymnastics.

I want to see something that makes me chew my fist out of sheer embarrassment. I want the judges to be so appalled that they really struggle to even semi-articulate their most overused cliches.
Oh dear Lord, so do I

Oh, this really made laugh! Just imagine a rock n' roll danced to this song... and then the reaction of people on the forume to it!!!

I know Aliona is goofy, but I'm sure she has some traces of sanity left not to use that song for a rock 'n roll show dance. It's probably for the AS

Unless the AS is a VW-inspired one with lifts? I would have thought it's too quick to be a ballroom-waltz inspired AS???

Far too slow for a Waltz which is relatively quite quick for ballroom, even as Craig said on Saturday the V.Waltz was slow for what it normally is. However it does have a lilt in it which Foxtrot doesn't really have.

I really hope they use a different version and not make it a VW AS! It's too soon to be dancing another VW, and it's not like there are that many steps in a VW to inspire people either... Unless they incorporate some slow W steps in there as well to have accelleration and decelerations and stuff which would be nice.

Incidentally Katharine McPhee & Andrea Bocelli's version is really nice too. VW, but having a female and male singer gives more diversity:

I absolutely this song though, whatever version they choose and I wish I could dance to this song in Blackpool with the whole floor to myself (and my partner of course!). And on saturday I'll probably tear up thinking about it and maybe (hopefully) because of Harry's performance.

I thought that Elvis number has been used in SCD before as a VW, was it Tom and Camilla's?

I am quite sure this song (Elvis' version) was used by Tom and Camilla before as their VW.

Hasn't stopped Aliona and the producers going through the Strictly grave yard and digging up old songs from past couples

Don't get me wrong, they can reuse the song. Just can't get my mind off the pros doing a VW with it. Other forms would just be wrong. Of course, there was a 4/4 beat version of this song sung by some modern singer, so to do an AS (slow foxtrot) with that version just might work. I don't know. I don't care now...
